The class was an experiment in so far as basic design education usually focuses on other elementary aspects first, such as form, color, representation, etc. The experiment's purpose was to confront design students very early on in the program with a participatory design approach and find out how well they can handle and apply it and how valuable it is for their basic design education. The report describes the overall aim, structure, process, and outcomes of the design class at University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and takes a peep into the near future.}, subject = {Bildung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AnwarNagelRatti, author = {Anwar, Afian and Nagel, Till and Ratti, Carlo}, title = {Traffic Origins}, series = {2014 IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium}, booktitle = {2014 IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, address = {Washington}, isbn = {978-1-4799-2874-3}, issn = {2165-8773}, doi = {10.1109/PacificVis.2014.35}, pages = {316 -- 319}, abstract = {Traffic incidents such as road accidents and vehicle breakdowns are a major source of travel uncertainty and delay, but the mechanism by which they cause heavy traffic is not fully understood. Traffic management controllers are tasked with routing repair and clean up crews to clear the incident and often have to do so under time pressure and with imperfect information. To aid their decision making and help them understand how past incidents affected traffic, we propose Traffic Origins, a simple method to visualize the impact road incidents have on congestion. Just before a traffic incident occurs, we mark the incident location with an expanding circle to uncover the underlying traffic flow map and when it ends, the circle recedes. This not only directs attention to upcoming events, but also allows us to observe the impact traffic incidents have on vehicle flow in the immediate vicinity and the cascading effect multiple incidents can have on a road network. We illustrate this technique using road incident and traffic flow data from Singapore.}, subject = {Visualisierung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LoeweYoshaKrauseetal., author = {L{\"o}we, Matthias and Yosha, Omer and Krause, Alexander and Wettach, Reto and Kr{\"u}ger, Nils}, title = {Valeo}, series = {TEI '10 : Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction}, booktitle = {TEI '10 : Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-60558-841-4}, doi = {10.1145/1709886.1709925}, pages = {213 -- 216}, abstract = {In current healthcare research, pain logs are an important means to measure the impact of medication and to detect pain patterns. However, the entry of textual pain data may be negatively reinforcing, due to its character of direct confrontation with one's pain, potentially leading to a higher pain awareness. This paper introduces valeo, a new form of a tactile pain log, which is based on a vibrotactile, pressure- and tilt-sensitive device. Future iterations will also include body part recognition. By squeezing it close to one's own body, the subjective intensity of a local pain is manifested in the device. Via a shove gesture, it is then transmitted to a docking station. Advantageously, the pain data is covert and conceptually alienated from the patient's body, which may support a possible relief. A proof-of-concept prototype and a user study indicate that our concept is perceived as convenient and reduces negative conditioning.}, subject = {Schmerz}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KnoerigHowell, author = {Kn{\"o}rig, Andr{\´e} and Howell, Brendan}, title = {Advanced prototyping with fritzing}, series = {TEI '10 : Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction}, booktitle = {TEI '10 : Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction}, publisher = {Association for Computing Machinery}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-60558-841-4}, doi = {10.1145/1709886.1709970}, pages = {341 -- 344}, abstract = {This studio will give participants a hands-on introduction to Fritzing, a free software tool for advancing electronic prototyping for researchers and practitioners of tangible, interactive electronics.
